This book examines the events of the famous Trojan War from an exclusive military point of view, according to the latest archaeological evidence and historical studies. The author tries a complete reconstruction of the causes that led to the war and of its possible development, including the different phases and military operations. The consequences that the war had on the Greek world are also analyzed in detail. The book focuses on many different military aspects, with great attention being given to composition of the opposing armies. Detailed orders of battle are included, together with chapters on the political organization of both Troy and the Greek world. The troop types and the weaponry of the confronting armies are presented in detail, also thanks to the 18 color plates which complete the text. For the first time in the world, the multinational Trojan army is reconstructed in color, as well as all the major Greek and Trojan heroes who participated to the war.
